RumAndCoconuts Posted November 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi everyone, We booked our cruise some time ago...and now we realize we are booked during the 🎶Eurovision Song Contest🎵. My Husband is Scottish and takes this in with great joy every year. Does anyone know if Royal Caribbean will air this? We will be on a Norwegian Fjords cruise. Thanks for any input 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any input 😄 I remember asking if they would be showing Eurovision on an X cruise once, and they had no idea what it was! If you’re on Anthem with a lot of Brits you’ll have a better chance I think! ps: lots of people on this board will have no idea what we’re talking about lol!

LeeW Posted November 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2022 If Norway satellite coverage is similar to Alaska you won't get much of anything up there (including internet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it several times while on holiday in Ireland or the UK. Watched this year during our short post-cruise England stay after the Anthem TA.

LittleJoefromKokomo Posted December 1, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Its probably due to they not having the rights to broadcast it. I asked in the sportspub on Voyager this summer if they could show the Formula 1 race that was held on a sunday and they said that they couldn't because they didn't have the rights to it. They showed several American football matches and European soccer games but no motorsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser Girl Posted December 1, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Is there possibly some pub or something in one of the ports that you could watch at least some of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea but Eurovision is shown in the evening about 9pm UK time. OP would have to find somewhere that is showing a rerun of the show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, good to know that some ships does show it. Where were Odyssey when you watched it? (not that I think it matters but still curious, we were in Europe and they didn't show it on Voyager) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Deeliteful Posted December 2, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If you have internet you could watch on your iPad or phone maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumAndCoconuts Posted December 2, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I think our best bet is to try to avoid the results and catch up with it on iPlayer once we get back. However No harm in asking the Purser if it could some how be arranged for viewing on board somewhere. It would certainly draw a crowd wouldn’t it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted December 2, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @RumAndCoconuts Purser? This isn’t Cunard!! The cruise director is the guy to ask! If it’s Anthem then this will most likely to be Joff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedladies Posted December 4, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We've cruised several times during eurovision and as we do like to watch it have had similar concerns! On european cruises one of the european channels on the in-cabin TV often has it on - you may have to put up with non-English voice over but otherwise it's pretty much the full Eurovision experience. We watched this year's broadcast this way. Otherwise the only other way to watch it is to stream - there's usually a youtube stream or similar, but as others have alluded to even with the better internet package this can be VERY hit and miss, especially with the more northerly trips.
